WTF was that....M3???
Okay...so I was cruising the street where everyone cruises. So I pull up to a stoplight. I'm in the right lane....and as I approach the light I see a BMW. I'm like...whatever. So we're waiting and I hear him revving. So we're still waiting. We both see the light getting ready to change.....he's still revving. Light goes green.....I wait about a second and he doesn't go. So then I take off like normal and then hammer it. He takes off the line pretty good....he chirped his tires going into 2nd. When we quit at around 55-60 he had about a car and half on me. However had this not been about the busiest street in the state and not be infested with cops I would have revved mine and launched it hard from the stoplight and I would have most likely been closer. I got behind him at the next light and saw the M3 badge on the back....WTF?? Is this a real M3 that just didn't try....or is it an imposter?

was it boxy or a new one with the grill in the front fenders and duel exhasut? and considering that a M3 is about 3 seconds faster im pretty sure if it was a m3 he wasnt trying. probly thought you where a srt? 3 second differance is like a srt-4 racing a 05 viper. BIG

It was kind of boxy....no dual exhaust. It looked all stock. Yes...I'm sure he thought I was an SRT4. Yeah I know how fast they are....thats why I'm not sure if it actually was one or if he wasn't trying that hard. I know I didn't even redline first or 2nd....not to mention launch it hard. Too many damn cops to be racing on that street. Not that street racing is good anyways.[X(]

when i was a tech, i saw LOTS of M imposters...but then again, with a moderate amount of work, you can turn a 3 series into a M...cams and head...ecu...my dad has the M ecu and exhaust on his 5 series...and he found the cams, but for used M5 cams, it was 1700 bucks...[:-]

Good call Vader....I've looked at BMW's site and the back end of the BMW I saw looks identical to a 325i. I was almost positive it wasn't an actual M3. Had I launched mine...we probably would have been pretty even...but when I don't rev mine hard from a stop I have to wait for my power to build. [X(]

There have been times when someone was messing with me and I don't know exactly what they were in, which I guess is a good thing because if I did get a good look to see what they were in must mean I wasn't the one winning. One was a little red two seater convertible that was an older car and I had only had my '99 Neon R/T for a very short time. He decided he wanted to play and the road was good to go so I went for it and I put him where he belonged, behind me. Beemer owners do seem to think they're Gods gift judging by the ones I see around here on the freeways, they're usually in the fast lane doing 20+MPH over.
